Launching! to Adulthood: an Updated Group Therapy Program for Young Adults with Neurodevelopmental Differences Transitioning to Adulthood
Objectives
The transition to adulthood is a formative period of development for young adults, as they work towards independence and managing adult responsibilities. This time can be especially difficult for young adults with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs; such as autism spectrum disorder [ASD] or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]), who may experience executive functioning and social communication difficulties. Parents also may experience an increased burden during this transition. However, evidence-based interventions for young adults with NDDs rarely integrate parents. The present study provided initial feasibility and acceptability data for a therapy program for young adults with NDDs transitioning to adulthood and their parents.
Methods
The updated intervention, called Launching! to Adulthood, is a 10-week therapy program based on evidence-based interventions, designed to reduce distress and support the transition to independence for young adults with NDDs and their parents. The updated Launching! to Adulthood therapy program now includes weekly Motivational Interviewing (MI) coaching sessions for young adults. Measures of feasibility, acceptability, and well-being were collected pre- and post-intervention from participants (n = 28).
Results
The updated Launching! to Adulthood therapy program was acceptable and feasible for the 28 participants, with high ratings of satisfaction. Young adults (n = 12) experienced a significant reduction in depression symptoms and a significant increase in quality of life, while parents (n = 16) experienced significant reductions in caregiver burden.
Conclusions
By integrating individualized MI coaching sessions for young adults with separate group therapy sessions for parents and young adults, the updated Launching! to Adulthood therapy program has the potential to support young adults with NDDs and their families during the transition to adulthood.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Neurodevelopmental Disorders publishes high-quality research in the broad area of neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan. Study participants may include individuals with:Intellectual and developmental disabilitiesGlobal developmental delayCommunication disordersLanguage disordersSpeech sound disordersChildhood-onset fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering)Social (e.g., pragmatic) communication disordersUnspecified communication disordersAutism spectrum disorder (ASD)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specified and unspecifiedSpecific learning disordersMotor disordersDevelopmental coordination disordersStereotypic movement disorderTic disorders, specified and unspecifiedOther neurodevelopmental disorders, specified and unspecifiedPapers may also include studies of participants with neurodegenerative disorders that lead to a decline in intellectual functioning, including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Huntington’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The journal includes empirical, theoretical and review papers on a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including but not limited to: diagnosis; incidence and prevalence; and educational, pharmacological, behavioral and cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and psychosocial interventions across the life span. Animal models of basic research that inform the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders are also welcomed. The journal is multidisciplinary and multi-theoretical, and encourages research from multiple specialties in the social sciences using quantitative and mixed-method research methodologies.
